In this contribution, we study options on assets which pay discrete dividends. We focus on American options, as when dealing with equities, most traded options are of American-type.

Abstract

In this contribution, we study options on assets which pay discrete dividends. We focus on American options, as when dealing with equities, most traded options are of American-type. In particular, we analyze implied volatilities in the model proposed by Haug et al. [12] and in the binomial model, with an application to the Italian Derivatives Market.
